Hi,
I received this error message. I tried to counterbalance conditions.

Hello,

did you turn off the expInfo dialog at the beginning?

Best wishes Jens

I am not sure. Would you please let me know how I can turn off the expInfo dialog to make it work?
Thank you!

It looks okay.

Do you already have another experiment file in the same folder?

Hi,

I attached the folder. It is a pretty simple experiment.

There was only one experiment.
I made it another but received the same error sign.

One thing I found was that I couldn’t sync experiments from a Google Drive. It might not like your Desktop. Try putting the folder in your documents folder on your hard drive, making sure it’s not some form of cloud storage.

Hello CogPsy

why do you use both participant and participant number? Usually variable names, e.g. participant number, may not include a space in their names. And move the exp-folder as suggested by wakecarter from the desktop to a document folder.

Best wishes Jens

Those fields can have spaces, since the are key names in a dictionary, rather than variable names. Actually I’m more concerned with the default value for group.

Hello wakecarter

thanks for clarifying.
